IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – SUPPORT FOR ESTABLISHMENT OF ENERGY TRADES
INSTITUTE TO TRAIN AND RE-TRAIN WORKERS FOR MICHIGAN’S FUTURE
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies, and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Michigan Public Service Commission, Michigan’s Legislature, and Michigan’s Governor
are contemplating enacting reliability requirements for Michigan’s electric utility industry as a result of
severe storms in 2008 that resulted in severe losses of electric power, thereby impacting trade,
commerce, and the quality of life for thousands of Michigan residents; and
WHEREAS the provision of reliable electrical service and rapid storm response is imperative to the quality
of life of Michigan residents and the productivity of Michigan’s public, private, agricultural, commercial,
and industrial sectors; and
WHEREAS electrical line workers are the “backbone” of the electric utility industry and perform the labor
required to operate and maintain the electric grid; and
WHEREAS electrical line workers’ labor erecting transmission towers and utility poles and constructing
and repairing the transmission lines that carry electricity from power plants to distribution lines and,
ultimately, to commercial, industrial, and residential customers is critical to our country and our state’s
quality of life; and
WHEREAS these line workers perform one of the most dangerous professions and receive wages that
are among the highest in the world for jobs that do not require a college education; and
WHEREAS there are only an estimated 50,000 line workers across the country; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. October 23, 2008
896
WHEREAS DTE Energy only has an estimated 1,500 electrical workers, and Consumers Power only has
an estimated 500 electrical line workers; and
WHEREAS the rapid retirement of America’s skilled trade workforce in the energy sector is a critical
quality of life issue for the nation; and
WHEREAS the 78 million individuals born between 1946 and 1964 who comprise the “Baby Boom
Generation” comprise about 45% of the overall American workforce, but close to 70% of the skilled
energy trades workforce; and
WHEREAS an estimated 40% of Michigan’s line worker labor force will approach retirement within 3 to 5
years from now; and
WHEREAS the most recent Energy Policy Act Report to Congress estimated that there is a national
shortage of line workers of 10,000 people and stated that the shortage of qualified potential employees
could limit the nation’s ability to maintain and or increase electricity supply, potentially impacting the
economic and national security of the United States; and
WHEREAS by staking out a leadership position as America’s leader in pre-apprentice and energy skilled
trades training, Michigan sets the stage to make a compelling case for federal funding to assist in
addressing the national electric line worker labor shortage and creating skilled trade opportunities to re-
train a highly skilled unemployed Michigan workforce and create thousands of new high wage jobs.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Commission hereby endorses the
establishment of an Energy Trades Institute through a public-private-organized labor partnership between
the State of Michigan, Michigan’s electric utility industry, and the International Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers in order to aggressively establish Michigan as a national training ground for not only electrical
line workers, but all of the emerging energy trades.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Commission urges the State Legislature to
appropriate unused job training dollars in the current fiscal year and a targeted investment in the 2008-
2009 budget year in order to support the creation of an Energy Trades Institute.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby requests the
Oakland County Clerk to forward copies of this adopted resolution to Governor Jennifer Granholm,
members of the Oakland County delegation to the Michigan legislature, the Michigan Association of
Counties, DTE Energy, Consumers Power, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and
Oakland County's legislative lobbyists.

the impact that subsidized or reduced cost monitoring would have on jail overcrowding; and
